Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
he name of the seventh and last Harry Potter book was unveiled on Thursday as Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, likely to whet the appetite of millions of eager fans worldwide.
The book, whose title appears on publisher Bloomsbury's website, will be the final installment of JK Rowling's massively popular series featuring the schoolboy wizard.
A publication date has not yet been set for the book, which will follow Harry and friends during their final year at Hogwarts, the school for witches and wizards.
The first six books in the Potter series have sold more than 300 million copies worldwide and been translated into 63 languages, making Rowling Britain's highest-earning woman.
The novels have also been turned into hit films. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth movie in the series, is being filmed and is due for release next year.
Rowling, 41, admitted on her website this week that she was under stress as she wrote the closing chapters of the final Potter novel -- in which she has hinted that the beloved hero may be killed off.
"I'm now writing scenes that have been planned, in some cases, for a dozen years or even more," Rowling revealed.
"I don't think anyone who has not been in a similar situation can possibly know how this feels. I am alternately elated and overwrought.
"I both want, and don't want, to finish this book (don't worry I will)," she wrote.
She then described her odd dreams about Harry's world, which Potter fans are sure to scour for clues about what may happen in the final book.
"For years now, people have asked me whether I ever dream that I am 'in' Harry's world," Rowling wrote.
"The answer was 'no' until a few nights ago, when I had an epic dream in which I was, simultaneously, Harry and the narrator."
Rowling said she recently went on a day trip to the film studios where she saw 20 minutes of footage for the new film, "which looks fantastic".

Joseph Barbera Dies..
Joseph Barbera started his career as a tailor's delivery boy. During the Great Depression he tried unsuccessfully to become a magazine cartoonist for a magazine called The NY Hits Magazine. In 1932 he joined the Van Beuren Studio as an animator and scriptwriter. He worked on cartoons such as Cubby Bear, and Rainbow Parades and also co produced Tom and Jerry. When Van Beuren closed down in 1936, Barbera moved over to the MGM studios.
Lured by a substantial salary increase, Barbera left Terrytoons and New York for the new MGM cartoon unit and California in 1937. The following year he teamed up with William Hanna to direct theatrical short cartoons; Barbera was the storyboard/layout artist, and Hanna was in charge of the timing. Their first venture was Puss Gets the Boot (1940), the first Tom and Jerry film, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best (Cartoon) Short Subject.
Hanna and Barbera's 17-year partnership on the Tom & Jerry series resulted in 7 Academy Awards for Best (Cartoon) Short Subject, and 14 total nominations, more than any other character-based theatrical animated series. Hanna and Barbera were placed in charge of MGM's animation division in late 1955; however this was short-lived as MGM closed the division in 1957. Following this they teamed up to produce the series The Ruff & Reddy Show, under the company name H-B Enterprises, soon changed to Hanna-Barbera Productions.
Hanna-Barbera Productions became by the late-1960s the most successful television animation studio in the business, producing hit television programs, such as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Jonny Quest, and Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! by the end of the decade.
Hanna-Barbera had been a subsidiary of Taft Broadcasting (later Great American Communications) since 1967. The studio thrived until 1991, when it was sold to Turner Broadcasting. Hanna and Barbera stayed on as advisors and periodically worked on new Hanna-Barbera shows, including the What-a-Cartoon! series.
Hanna-Barbera, received eight Emmys, including the Governors Award of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 1988.
Their strengths melded perfectly, critic Leonard Maltin wrote in his book "Of Mice and Magic: A History of American Animated Cartoons." Barbera brought the comic gags and skilled drawing, while Hanna brought warmth and a keen sense of timing.
"This writing-directing team may hold a record for producing consistently superior cartoons using the same characters year after year - without a break or change in routine," Maltin wrote.
Hanna, who died in 2001, once said he was never a good artist but his partner could "capture mood and expression in a quick sketch better than anyone I've ever known."
After Hanna's death, Barbera had remained active as an executive producer for Warner Bros. Animation on television series such as What's New, Scooby-Doo? and Tom and Jerry Tales. He also wrote, co-storyboarded, co-directed and co-produced the theatrical Tom and Jerry short The Karate guard in 2005, thus returning to his and Hanna's first successful cartoon format.
His death was unfortunate. He died of unspecified reasons at his home in Studio City, Los Angeles. We will all miss him because tom and jerry had been and are a part of our lives.

I-earth..
Called iEarth, the NASA software scours EOS databanks for information and converts it into a file that can be viewed via Google Earth.
Choosing a spot on the planet's surface will prompt iEarth to display ground-based measurements for that location, as well as data relating to the atmosphere and space above it, said Brian Wilson on NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
"This is the first time we've been able to do multi-instrument atmospheric science. You can pick a specific spot on the planet and, starting with the surface, move up in altitude through the troposphere and stratosphere," he said.
Wilson demonstrated a prototype of iEarth at this week's meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco.
According to New Scientist, NASA will make the iEarth system available for use in April.
He said NASA developed this system on facing the problem of being overwhelmed with huge amount of data on atmosphere.
To help understand climate change, NASA created its Earth Observing System (EOS), made up of a dozen satellites plus a host of weather balloons and ground-based sensors that collect data such as air temperatures, water-vapour densities and aerosol concentrations.
Terabytes of such measurements have been streaming in each day, and the agency was quickly swamped with so much data that all it could do was dump it on disc drives.

Moto ming works on linux?
The Linux-based A1200 mobile phone (a.k.a the “MOTOMING”) from Motorola is a clamshell unit solidly constructed around a minimalist design. The phone is compact but feels just heavy enough to be taken serious. The black (actually “Licorice”) rubberized body sports chrome-finish detailing along the sides and front panel. The design feature that stands out is a smoky, transparent flip with thin embedded wires leading to the tiny speaker you place against your ear.
The flip is anything but flimsy, but to open this clamshell, you need to employ your fingernails as a shucking knife on one of the two shallow dents on either side of the casing left there to aid opening, but not by much. You will also need fingernails to pull out the plugs that keep the earphone and mini-USB jacks dust-free.
The lens for the 2.0 megapixel camera comes with a tiny flip switch to choose between normal and macro mode. It does a good enough job of taking snapshots and can do so with the camera closed, at which point the whole screen becomes a viewfinder which you can see through the transparent flip.
The zoom is purely digital, so you won’t call on it often unless you’re going for that pixelated look. The zoom operates in 6 distinct steps from 1.0x to 8.0x. To store your images and other data, the phone uses a tiny microSD card for memory expansion.
One of the more interesting uses of the camera is found in the phone’s Business Card Scanner function. You simply slide the selector switch on the camera lens to the macro mode, line up a red rectangle with the edges of your card. If you do it right, it will turn green and automatically snap a picture after a three-second countdown. The Optical Character Recognition function then kicks in and populates your address book entry with the information.
Expect to have to make some corrections before you save the entry. Sometimes the company name is entered as the person’s name and bracketed country codes are copied wholesale. Email addresses, on the other hand, are usually recognized flawlessly.
The phone comes with a telescoping stylus for use with the bright, clear touchscreen, which doubles up as a virtual numeric keypad for normal phone functions, with keys generously spaced. As you can imagine, keeping the screen and clear plastic flip free of fingerprints takes commitment. Voice quality is excellent and volumes of the polyphonic ringtones can be set loud enough to annoy people on the far side of the room. The external buttons all give a responsive click when pressed and the tiny chrome joystick is also quite usable.
What is less usable, on some occasions, is the interface. Opening the main menu displays nine icons at any one time, on a 3×3 grid. If the icon on the lower left is selected and you pushed the joystick up, you would expect the mid left icon to be selected. But no, the mid right icon is selected instead. So to reach the top left icon, the joystick cycles through six icons instead of the expected two. In this situation, forget the joystick.
Another peculiarity is found in the ringtone/vibrate profiles accessible via the external volume buttons. You would expect that all the profile choices involving ringtones would apply to the one ringtone you chose when setting up the phone. Instead you have to set each of the five ring profiles to that one ringtone you want because they all default to different ringtones. It’s an annoyance you can work around once and forget about, unless you change your ringtone often.
You might wonder if a phone based on Linux works properly with a Windows PC. The answer, surprisingly, is yes. But it pays to have a broadband connection set up on the machine when installing the drivers because the process involves downloading around 16MB worth of updates. It comes with “phone tools” software that allows you to sync your data and address list with a PC, as well as drag and drop media files between the two. It can view Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint and PDF files but there is no way to edit them. The screen is definitely too small to read any normal-sized font even when maximized to the full width and rotated into landscape mode. You will have to tap and drag the document around to read it.
As with most smart phones, if you open a few applications in succession, the latest application takes over the whole screen. If you forget that you have opened five applications beneath the top one, you’ll be wondering where all your memory went. The phone automatically goes into key lock mode after a few seconds of inactivity when you close the flip. To unlock the phone in the closed position, you have to tap any of the external buttons twice in quick succession.
You have several choices when it comes to text input, which we found to be one of the phone’s strongest features. Handwriting recognition in English is easy and accurate and the strokes appear on the screen as you write. You can write either in upper or lower case, and you can alternate between right and left frames of the input area to speed up your input. But using Graffiti-style writing popularised by Palm devices will lead to errors. There is also a punctuation corner in the right frame. Importantly, backspace and shift buttons are shown even in handwriting mode.
The same goes for Chinese input as well, both traditional and simplified forms. The recognition for written characters is very high, even with purposely poor attempts at writing Chinese characters. Personally I found it quickest to use the on-screen keyboard, which comes with a pinyin and zhuyin version. The pinyin keyboard pops up the next likely letter to make selection even easier. You can use the stylus to peck at the keys but a fingernail will do just as well.
With moderate use of PDA functions, half a dozen calls and some SMSs, the 3.7-volt lithium-ion battery went from full charge to low battery warning just under 24 hours, so keep that charger handy. Both the charger and the data cable use the same mini-USB port on the side of the phone and you can charge the phone from a computer’s USB port. If you are already a Linux user, you are probably used to glossing over a few inconveniences the rest of the world takes for granted. In this sense, the phone lives up to its Linux heritage. If you can put up with the minor inconveniences mentioned above, and use some simply workarounds, this Bluetooth and GPRS-capable phone may just grow on you.

New Versions of Mozilla
Version 3.0
The development name for Mozilla Firefox 3 is
The largest change for Firefox 3 will be the implementation of Gecko 1.9, an updated layout engine (more correctly big changes to the reflow code and migration of nsTextFrame to the
The development team is also asking that Firefox users submit feature requests that they wish to be included in Firefox 3.
Version 4.0
On
Features
The developers of Firefox aim to produce a browser that "just works" for most casual users. User-created extensions and plugins can be installed to integrate with Firefox giving a wide range of choice for the end-user. The main features included with Firefox are tabbed browsing, incremental find, live bookmarking, a customizable download manager and a built-in Search toolbar. The user can customize their version of Firefox with downloadable extensions, a variety of different themes and skins, and many hidden preferences that are easily accessible to the advanced user.
Mozilla Firefox claims support for many software standards, including but not restricted to: HTML, XML, XHTML, CSS, ECMAScript (JavaScript), DOM, MathML, DTD, XSL, SVG, XPath and PNG images with variable transparency. Firefox release builds do not yet pass the Acid2 standards-compliance test. There are developmental versions of Firefox that currently pass the Acid2 test, and Firefox 3 is expected to pass Acid2
Mozilla Firefox is a multi-platform browser, providing support for various versions of Microsoft Windows, including 98, 98SE, Me, NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and Server 2003. It also runs on Mac OS X, and the Linux-based operating systems using the X Window System. Although not officially released for certain operating systems, the freely available source code works for many other operating systems, including but not restricted to: FreeBSD, OS/2, Solaris, SkyOS, BeOS and more recently, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
Firefox also provides an environment in which web developers can use built in tools (from extensions). These include a JavaScript Console, a DOM Inspector, Venkman JavaScript debugger, and an integrated development toolkit called Web Developer.
The fact that Firefox has fewer and less severe publicly known unpatched security vulnerabilities than Internet Explorer is often cited as a reason to switch from Internet Explorer to Firefox for improved security. A 2006 Symantec study showed that Firefox had surpassed Internet Explorer in the number of vendor-confirmed vulnerabilities that year through to September, though these were patched more quickly than vulnerabilities found in other browsers. Symantec later clarified their statement, saying that Firefox still had fewer security vulnerabilities, as counted by security researchers.
Firefox uses SSL/TLS to protect communications with web servers using strong cryptography. It also supports smartcards for secure login to web servers. It uses a sandbox security model and the developers use a "bug bounty" scheme, for finding fixes for some security and feature additions.

Copyleft??????????
Copyleft is a play on the word copyright and is the practice of using copyright law to remove restrictions on distributing copies and modified versions of a work for others and require that the same freedoms be preserved in modified versions.
Copyleft is commonly implemented by a license and is applied to works such as computer
software, documents, music, and art. Whereas copyright law, by default, automatically restricts the right to make and redistribute copies of an author's work, a copyleft license uses copyright law to ensure that every person who receives a copy of a work has the same rights to study, use, modify, and also redistribute both the work, and derived versions of the work. Such licenses typically do so by requiring that the same license terms apply to all redistributed versions of the work. The widest used and originating copyleft license is the GNU General Public License (GPL).
In a non-legal sense, copyleft is the opposite of copyright, by passing on the freedoms of copyright to all recipients of the work. In a legal sense, copyleft uses the right of the author to impose copyright restrictions with a copyright license on those who want to use the work in ways that require copyright. Under a copyleft form of copyright license, the restrictions imposed are that the work can be copied, modified or used in any subsequent work if, and only if, the author of that subsequent work agrees to grant the same copyleft rights to the public to freely copy, use and modify the subsequent work. For this reason copyleft licenses are also known as reciprocal licenses.
Authors use copyleft to allow anyone to use, share and improve the work as a continuing process, disallowing people from sharing derived works with any new restrictions. While copyleft is not a term in law, it is seen by proponents as a legal tool in a political and ideological debate over intellectual work. Some see copyleft as a first step in doing away with any kind of copyright law. Many fans of copyleft media believe that copyleft is a cross between copyright and public domain. In the public domain, the absence of copyleft-like protection leaves software in an unprotected state. Authors who use source code in the public domain can spread and sell binaries without providing the source code. If legal copyright was abolished and no other rights were provided there would be no means for copyleft licenses to exist. The need for copyleft would be diminished in such an environment, as it would become lawful for the community to disassemble and disseminate proprietary software as free software. However, there would be no way to preserve freedoms and rights for others or protect from propagations like software hoarding.

I-pod's new competiter : Zune
Microsoft Corp.'s effort to compete against Apple's iPod juggernaut will focus on the idea that people want to be able to easily share music with friends and others.
The software maker said Thursday that its portable Zune media player, scheduled to be available around the holiday season, will include wireless technology to let people share some of their favorite songs, playlists or pictures with other Zune users who are close by.
Those users can listen to the songs three times over three days before deciding whether to purchase it themselves.
"The idea is to legitimize peer-to-peer sharing in a healthy way that works for everybody," said J Allard, a Microsoft vice president in charge of the Zune product line.
Microsoft said the song-sharing capability will be available for most songs available through its forthcoming Zune Marketplace service, although some music publishers won't allow it.
Also, for now at least, users will not be able to buy the songs directly through the device. Instead, they can flag the song and purchase it next time they connect the device to a computer and access the online music store.
Analyst Ted Schadler with Forrester Research said he thinks Microsoft has assembled a strong product with many features Apple's iPod has, and some -- such as the wireless feature -- that it doesn't.
Still, he questioned whether music-sharing would be enough of a draw to get people to switch allegiances.
"I'm not going to change my mind about which product I own for that feature," he said.
The company did not disclose pricing or a specific launch date for the first Zune player. The device, to be made by Toshiba Corp., will have 30 gigabytes of memory (enough to hold about 7,500 songs), a 3-inch screen and a built-in FM tuner. It also will come loaded with about 25 songs or other pieces of content.
Allard said the device is based on Toshiba's Gigabeat handheld music player, but customized to include such things as the wireless capabilities.
Flat Fee
Microsoft's Zune Marketplace music service, designed to compete with Apple Computer Inc.'s iTunes store, will let users buy songs individually or listen to unlimited tracks for a flat subscription fee.
Analyst Phil Leigh with Inside Digital Media said he thinks Microsoft may be able to gain an edge by offering a subscription service. Other companies offer such unlimited plans, but Apple doesn't.
Still, Leigh thinks Microsoft will be hindered by having just one high-end device available at the beginning, while Apple has a broad product line to appeal to a wide variety of users.
"The way to be competitive here would be come in with some choices, instead of just one product," he said.
Allard said the company does eventually plan to offer more devices and features. "We think of the Zune platform and the movement here to be more than the device," he said.
Microsoft has said that Zune is key to staying competitive, but will cost millions of dollars and not pay off immediately.
Other hardware manufacturers, including Creative Technology Ltd. and Samsung Electronics Co., already offer portable media players using Microsoft's software, although they've had limited success against Apple

Linkin Park
Linkin Park is a truly unique band. They are not just Rock, Rap, or
Electronica band. They comprimise of a veritable mixture of different styles
and stylists in music, This makes them a hybrid in the type of music they
play and their fan-base too. We are true lovers of Linkin Park
Linkin Park's origin began in 1996 when rapper guitarist Brad Delson and the
infamouis Mike Shinoda started a band called Xero. Other members of the
band were Mark Wakefield the vocalist, Joseph
Hahn the DJ, Rob Bourdon the drummer, and "Phoenix" Farrell the bassist.
Xero made a four track demo tape including: Fuse, Stick N' Move, Rhinestone,
and Reading My Eyes.
When Mark Wakefield left the band, they changed their name to Hybrid
Theory. Later "Phoenix" chose to leave the band to tour with another band,
called"The Snax". The rest of the gang continued to play together primarily
for fun. They later, signed with Zomba Music an occasion that came about
when they played at The Whiskey Club in Los Angeles. The final addition to
the band came in the form of Chester Bennington.
Magical Chester, in our humble opinion, was absolutely the missing catalyst.
His extra-ordinary voice lets him deliver the lyrics at a gentle yet
aggressive pace. He can hit pitch notes like no other. Chester humbly even
blames this on "years of singing" and "scar tissue". We absolutely love him.
His arrival completed the Band. Thus in 1999 Carousel, And One, Technique,
Step up, High Voltage & Part of me were born as a six track EP, to
tremendous applause.
Some legal wrangling made it necessary to change the band's name. True to
their "hybrid' spirit Linkin Park was chosen. Members drove by Lincoln Park
regularly so why not use a similar sounding, unique name. Chester has been
recorded to say he wanted a name which was unique, "where the music could
define the name rather than the name define the music". Phoneix pulled a
mythical rebirth and rejoined the band fulfilling his destiny. New demos
were made and the chase for a record label was on. Warner Records were lucky
to hear the music, like it and sign up Linkin Park. A massive page in their
history was written.
Linkin Park released their debut album, Hybrid Theory In October 2000,. Hits
like One Step Closer, Crawling, and In The End were born. Hybrid Theory
eventually received 8x platinum. Hybrid Theory does not follow a trend set
up by a lot of other bands in that it doesn't contain any curses or swear
words. This was because the band wanted to write lyrics honestly and they
thought that unnecessary swear words take away attention from the music.
They wanted something that the public could listen to over and over again
and enjoy repeatedly. At it's completion they felt they had achieved this
feat with Hybrid Theory.
After Hybrid Theory was released, Linkin Park's fame permitted them to tour
all over the world. They toured with bands like POD, 3 Doors Down, and
System Of a Down.
July of 2002, saw LP release the Hybrid Theory Remix album, Reanimation.
These remixes included talent from rappers like Black Thought and 20 tracks
were cut.
In March of 2003, LP released their 2nd year album, Meteora. This album
includes hits like Somewhere I Belong, Numb,, and Faint. Included on Meteora
and Reanimation were ground breaking extras. They contained enhanced
portions. These parts of the discs included videos and other extra 'goodies"
fans could view on their PC. The band wanted to use technology and let the
fans to see the process of making albums . This helped them share all the
"Blood, Sweat and Tears," they put into making the albums .
Linkin Park has won numerous awards including an award at the VMAs. Their
popularity has grown world-wide. They are now truly international with a
multitude of fans. From their hybrid genres to their non offensive
swear-free lyrics, to their use of turntables and samples, Linkin Park cover
a truly versatile ground and provide an entertaining and unique performance.
